Seems a while since anybody posted in this topic so here's my introduction. I know most of your names from Librivox and maybe some of you will recognize mine. I'm in Canada where our PD is life+50 so if it's PD for you, it's definitely PD for me. I'll check in every so often and see what I can contribute.

Hi Darvinia
Welcome to our little corner!
We do have a group project looking for readers And proof listeners are always welcome.
Just remember to check the box "notify me" at the bottom, it does not happen automatically like at LV.

I'm a bit of a geek, and I like to set things up the way I like them (I can't help anybody with Audacity because of this. I've changed all the tool bars around so when somebody asks where a button is, I can't just say "it's in the lower left corner", because chances are mine is different) so as soon as I was registered I went to the User Control Panel and clicked a few things. I like RSS feeds too so I was happy to see that.

I think it's a good idea to notify by email as a default. Can't have too much information, in my opinion. And then for the people that really don't want this, it's easy enough for them to turn it off.

"Forums" like "Readers Wanted" or "Readers Found" have a red icon - that's the feed for that particular forum. Left of the "Last post by..." line.

There are more feeds: A global one for all posts, or for "active topics", or - when you're on a particular thread - a feed just for that thread. In a Mozilla browser (Firefox or Seamonkey) all these feeds are shown by the same red icon, this time located on the right side within your browser's address bar.

Mozilla "sees" the feeds because they are written into the HTML. Other browsers have certainly also ways of discovering them, and maybe all feeds should get their own icons on the page; for me it's usually enough to look at the top of the HTML source code and look for <link rel="alternate"> tags.
